How do I know when to pay, or when exams are and other important dates?

Does the Pembroke Campus have a Residence?

The Pembroke Campus does not currently have a student residence; however, students are able to secure housing in the local area surrounding the campus. A new student housing complex with beds for 50 students is being built in time for fall 2014. This complex and other housing opportunities can be found on our Pembroke housing list.

How does the whole collaboration thing work?

The University of Ottawa and Algonquin College have partnered to meet the demand for RNs in the province by enabling more students to train in more areas. Students who attend the Pembroke Campus receive the same training that a student would receive at the University’s main campus, and when they graduate they receive a degree from the University. Algonquin College is simply the deliverer of the program.

Do students complete all four years in Pembroke?

Yes. Students who begin the BScN program complete all four years at the Pembroke Campus. However, some specialized clinical placements do occur outside of Renfrew County.
